Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a rotating type gaming machine using a ball-shaped game ball.

[Prior Art] A spinning-roller type gaming machine inserts coins or medals instead of these coins into the gaming machine to rotate a plurality of spinning barrels, and when a person who plays the game arbitrarily stops the spinning barrels. When the combination of the pictures on the spinning drum matches the predetermined combination of the pictures on the pay line, the winning medals are paid out according to a predetermined number of winning classes.

In such a rotating body type game machine, recently, instead of a game medal, a ball such as a pachinko ball or a ball similar to this ball is thrown in, and if a prize is won, an equivalent ball is paid out. A rotating body type game machine has been proposed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, conventional spinning-ball type game machines that allow the use of balls such as pachinko balls can be used as they are, or the automatic pachinko ball automatic feeding / discharging mechanism can be used, or some modifications can be made. Since it was focused on the points that can be used in, it was mainly to consider the profit of the amusement hall side.

Therefore, there is no particular advantage for those who play the game, in addition to the one that can be used instead of the medal instead of the ball. Rather, at present, the lending unit price (exchange value) of pachinko balls and the lending unit price (exchange value) of medals are different, so if you lend or pay out pachinko balls according to the lending unit price of medals, the amount of balls handled will be several times. However, it is often annoying to those who play the game because it increases.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, in the present invention, even if the ratio of the current lending unit price of medals for spin-and-roller type gaming machines and the lending unit price of balls for pachinko gaming machines is the current ratio, or another ratio, a large number of game players We provide a revolving type gaming machine that allows you to play a game using a pachinko ball or another similar game ball without manually handling a large number of game balls similar to this. It was made for the purpose of doing, the configuration is to insert a pachinko ball or other similar game ball into the rotating drum type gaming machine to rotate a plurality of rotating drums, In the spinning-rolled gaming machine, when the game is stopped at a timing, the winning combination is made when the arrangement combination of the patterns and the like appearing on these spinning drums matches the combination of the symbols and the like on the winning line. A game ball storage tank is provided in the main body of the game machine The balls thrown by the player and the balls to be paid out at the time of winning are respectively stored in this tank after being counted, and therefore, the ball throwing passage and the winning payout ball each having a counting sensor and a shutter are provided. While connecting the supply passage to the tank, count the balls that are hung on the game and discharge them to the outside of the tank, and also count the balls that are paid out to the player at the time of winning, interruption, or termination of the game to the outside of the tank. In order to dispense, the ball discharge passage and the ball discharge passage each having a counting sensor and a shutter are connected to the tank,
Also, the shutter of the ball payout passage is connected to a changeover switch for controlling payout for each game prize or batch payout at the time of game interruption or end, and the ball supply of the above-mentioned ball insertion and prize payout balls to the tank. Provided is a calculation control unit for comparing and calculating a ball entering through the passage and a ball discharging from the tank and exiting through the ball dispensing passage, and when the calculation result is 1 or more,
It is characterized in that the balls to be played in the game are discharged and the balls are paid out to the game player.

It is similar to that of a known spinning-type gaming machine.

Next, the related operation of each component in the actual game will be described.

The game player uses the ball that he / she borrowed at the game hall for a fee.
Throw in. When the ball is thrown in, the activation sensor 5 _s operates, so that the shutter 9 _{s in the} passage 9 is opened to introduce the thrown ball into the tank 8. The introduced sphere is detected by the sensor 9 _c , and its output is supplied to the addition counter 14.

Next, the game player starts the game by tilting the payout selection switch 18 to either the A side or the B side, and then pressing any one of a plurality of types 6 of buttons to specify the number of balls to be multiplied.

A signal indicating the designated number of the buttons opens the shutter 11 _s of the discharge passage 11 and discharges the number of balls to the outside of the tank 8.

At this time, the sensor 11 _c detects the discharged sphere, and the subtraction counter 15 counts it.

Here, tilt the start lever 3 to start the game,
That is, after rotating the rotating cylinder 2, the stop button is pressed to stop the rotating cylinders 2 respectively. If the combination line of the stopped rotating body 2 is not on the winning line, the next game is started.

Here, in the case of winning the prize, the payout selection switch 18
Is on the A side, the winning signal G opens the shutter 10 _s of the passage 10 by a signal representing a predetermined number of winning balls, a predetermined number of winning balls are introduced into the tank 8, and the winning from the counter 10 _{c is} achieved. The signal of the number of balls is input to the addition counter 14. When a predetermined number of balls to pass through the shutter 10 _s shutter 10 _s is閉Jiru.

Thus, during the game, the current value remaining in the subtraction counter 15 is the total number of balls thrown into the tank 8 by winning and the number of balls thrown by the game player and the number of balls consumed for the game. It represents the remaining amount.

Therefore, when the subtraction counter 15 has a remaining numerical value, if the collective payout switch 19 is tilted to the A side and pushed when the game is interrupted or ended, balls matching the remaining amount are paid out from the passage 12 to the saucer 7.

On the other hand, when the game player has pushed the payout selection switch 18 to the B side, the winning signal G is directly supplied to the gate portion 12 _g of the shutter 12 _s of the payout passage 12 via the switching portion 18 _a, and every winning prize. Then, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out to the tray 7.

Here, when the switch 18 is on the B side, the shutter 10 _s remains closed, so the output of the counting sensor 12 _c in the payout passage 12 is the same as the output of the counting sensor 11 _{c in} the hanging-ball discharge passage 11. While being added in the addition counter 16, the outputs of the counting sensor 9 _{c in} the ball throwing passage 9 and the counting sensor 13 _{c in} the replenishing passage 13 are added in the adding counter 14 to subtract both the above numerical values in the subtracting counter 17, The result of this subtraction is used as a control signal for sphere replenishment.
